Vespa Lexington

I just ran across a great article in the New York Times about how scootering in America is spreading, I know for a fact it’s growing like crazy here in Lexington Kentucky! There are a lot of great mentions about Vespa and Piaggio. Some of my favorite excerpts from the article are:

“Americans finally climbed off their Hogs and out of their Hummers and discovered scooters — the zippy, fashion-forward transpo-pods that have long filled the streets and sidewalks of Beijing, Paris, Rome, Shanghai and other cities throughout the world.”

“American city dwellers, from Miami to Seattle, are being lured into Vespa and other scooter dealerships by the prospect of 70-plus miles per gallon efficiency, traffic-dodging agility and leave-it-anywhere parkability.”

““Five or six years ago, most people were buying Vespas as recreational vehicles: they liked the design, the great colors, the fact that a Vespa is an Italian product. But more and more, there is a larger share of people who are choosing Vespas as an alternative form of transportation — either to reduce their cost of transportation, or because of traffic congestion. And some buy a Vespa as an environmental effort, to leave a smaller carbon footprint than a car.””
